  • Train­ing in the care and pro­tec­tion of vul­ner­a­ble children.
  • Home visits.
  • Family rein­te­gra­tion of chil­dren who have been institutionalised.
  • Par­ent­ing skills education.
  • Life skills: hygiene, food prepa­ra­tion, house­hold respon­si­bil­i­ties, support for social and phys­i­cal challenges.
Current Projects:

LEAP (Life skills, Education, and Arts Programme) 

We are raising funds to develop and imple­ment this pro­gramme to provide for the chil­dren we cur­rently support. This pro­gramme includes:

  • Edu­ca­tion and life skill training.
  • Trauma related music and art therapy.
  • Health needs (med­i­cine, den­tistry, and eye tests).
  • Com­mu­nity expe­ri­ence excursions.

Community Care Programme

This new com­mu­nity pro­gramme pro­vides home-based care and pro­tec­tion train­ing for family members/guardians who have become respon­si­ble for chil­dren who did not live with them pre­vi­ously. The pro­gramme includes:

  • Liais­ing with schools, home­work support, and indi­vid­ual edu­ca­tion plans.
  • Education/support for parents on how to relate and care for the chil­dren, includ­ing an under­stand­ing of the effects of trauma and institutionalisation.
  • Health needs for other family members.
